"Ancient Chant?" "I think I heard brother Marik talk about this..."
A few new members of the Gravekeeper Race were discussing with uncertainty.
Rishid extended his left hand, proclaiming the effect: "Ancient Chant can be activated only once per turn. Select one [The Winged Dragon of Ra] from your Deck or Graveyard and add it to your Hand Card. During this turn, I can perform an additional Tribute Summon besides my Normal Summon!"
"Come forth, The Winged Dragon of Ra!"
He raised his hand, suddenly, the sky gradually gathered a mass of dark clouds, rolling thunder roaring within, and a golden phantom slowly emerged behind Rishid.
"Oh!?" Tierra's eyes lit up upon seeing this scene.
This is...
The true [Divine Might]!
"A God!?" Ishizu, who was watching, couldn't remain calm, she said in panic, "How is this possible? The God's Card wasn't it supposed to have disappeared from this world?"
She anxiously called out to Rishid: "Could it be a replica card? Rishid, do not use that card, have you forgotten——"
"No need to worry, Miss Ishizu." Muto Yugi interjected at this time, "Even though it is a [replica], it is also a [real] card, so using it won't incur divine punishment."
Is that so?
Ishizu looked over here in surprise.
Tenjo Hikari gently pinched the bridge of his nose.
Indeed, just as Muto Yugi said, this card is not "fake."
In the original Yu Gi Oh, at the end, the cards of the Three Egyptian God and the Nameless Pharaoh slept together, remaining completely in the Netherworld.
But in fact, the "Three Egyptian God" did not entirely enter the Netherworld.
In the original Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, it was explicitly stated that there was a card of "The Winged Dragon of Ra", left with Pegasus as a replica for research purposes.
In this world, those unqualified cannot use certain cards, and similarly, if they are fake cards, or God's Card replicated through technical means, or cards not made through official channels, they may face punishment from spirits or gods, from unconsciousness to being struck by flames and thunder, completely losing consciousness.
In the original story, there were more than one mention of ambitious individuals who attempted to replicate the God's Card and ended up suffering divine punishment.
This is also why so many peculiar individuals prefer to have Mr. Phoenix make their cards for them—without his talent, they truly cannot create a suitable medium.
Therefore, this "The Winged Dragon of Ra" should be the last "Divine Beast" card remaining in this dimension, left in this world.
After explaining these matters roughly, Yugi spoke again: "But, that's too lonely, isn't it?"
"?" Ishizu and Rishid looked at him.
Until now, they still didn't understand why Yugi would give them this card.
"All of its companions have left this world, leaving just it here; it's truly too lonely and too solitary." He patted his drawing board, "So, I asked Mr. Pegasus, relying on my memory, to try and create some cards, hoping it wouldn't be so alone.
Just about during the GX Tournament, I finally completed them, hoping... to find a suitable person or team?"
In summary, that's how it basically went.
Could it be a card personally designed by Yugi himself?
And it sounds like it was designed according to the scenes in his memory?
Rishid looked at the card in his hand, couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He recalled the past.
In the past, he dueled against Kido Jouji as Marik's Shadow Servant, summoning "The Winged Dragon of Ra" for victory, but it was not a genuine card, rather a counterfeit made by gods. As a result, before the battle, the wrath of God descended, causing him to lose consciousness and the duel.
Now, he could finally use this card again.
"It's time, Tenjo Hikari."
Tenjo Hikari swallowed a gulp of saliva, a slight sweat perspiring on his forehead.
...
To battle with [God]!
"I will use the Metal Reflect Slime on the field as a Sacrifice, from my Extra Deck, I Special Summon this card!"
"Egyptian God Slime!"
"Screetch—"
The body of the Slime began to twist frantically, and before long, it transformed into a massive, blue-green Divine Bird.
Egyptian God Slime, LV 10, Water Attribute, Aqua-Type, Attack Power 3000.
"Oh, this card allows you to use a Water Attribute, LV 10 Monster with Attack Power 0 on your field as a Sacrifice to Special Summon from the Extra Deck—haha, speaking of it, it was inspired by Tenjo-kun's Thunder Dragon Colossus." Muto Yugi explained on the side.
Though Tenjo Hikari was aware of this card, he couldn't help but feel a sense of inevitable destiny when he heard his words.
"Then, upon the field needing three Monsters as Sacrifices, the Egyptian God Slime can be released as equivalent to three! I release the Egyptian God Slime on the field..."
"Appear, mighty God!"
He raised the card in his hand high, and a torrent of flames swept across this quiet and peaceful Floating Island, the pitch-black clouds completely enveloped the whole world, countless lightning struck down the center.
The originally phantom-like golden figure gradually began to manifest its body...
"Wow——" "Oh!!" "Is that the God we've always been serving!?"
The Winged Dragon of Ra!
The Winged Dragon of Ra, LV 10, Divine Attribute, Divine Beast-Type, Attack Power?
